  • i'm pretty sure this is about a guy going to america to find land but leaving his love behind. the song talks about the adventure across the ocean and when it starts talking about sticking flags in the ground is when he literally stuck his flag in the ground to claim his land out west(in america) then feeling proud and such for his new land

  • Everyone needs to chill the fuck out and either listen to the music or not. In 100 years your opinions wont matter.

  • So many memories attached to this song. What a masterpiece.

  • 660 ppl have just got 'flagged'!

  • Children of bodom

    Sonata Arctica

    Wintersun

    Ensiferum

    The best groups comes from Finland!

  • @cob9702 norther as well

  • @cob9702 You left Nightwish XD

  • @cob9702 Nightwish!!!!

  • I can't wait to see Sonata live again! Visits to Minnesota are few and far between

  • Little wayne is shit

  • @watsupduck123 no shit sherlock lol

  • @Alfonsofro actually it's folk metal not pirate metal, if you want pirate check out alestorm ;) makes me proud to be scottish

  • @JASIFC this isn't folk metal, it's progressive power metal... and the subgenre pirate doesn't really exist, it's a term alestorm made up by themselves

  • @NiggeliNG

    Who are we to say that it doesn't exist? What distinguishes the other subgenres from one another, and, furthermore, weren't these simply "made up?"

  • @NiggeliNG

    TRUE

  • jizz in my pants

  • what a shit song

  • super sonata arctica

  • Pirate Metal.

  • I've been listening this song since 2009

    bored:NO

  • sonata arctica forever! Simply the best!!!

  • Now I will be forever clicking see more comments to find what @kingclark0136's comment

  • Bye Bye Hip Hop, here is the Answer ;-)

  • best Music and best Country on Earth = Finnland !!!

  • Europe and America have I shitload of pop, I understand reinxeedfreak.. America has more metalbands(absoluut) then Sweden Finland and Norway. But dividing it by the population. Scandinavia has more metal. But anyway: SONATE ARTICA!!! :D

  • i think finland has the secret to make good music

  • another jewel in the crown of Power Metal!!

  • @steliospeppas I my opinion, Sonata Arctica ARE the crown of metal... For me anyways! :)

  • in finlad come too children of bodom :) and poets of the fall and nightwish :P

  • Finland is best sonata arctica too

    !

  • From Europe with Love

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song xDDD Sonata Arctica rulzzz!!!

  • This Sonata has gone downhill...this song is so hollow...the guitar players does not fill the empty spaces...too bad....They used to be great!

  • @EArockerful Dude are you kidding? THis is amazing.

  • This is the best love story I've ever heard! Sonata Arctica for ever!!

  • Comment removed

  • fuck subgenres ilove all metal

  • @gh3rulz69 Cheers to that.

  • Americans, Europeans, any other race? why does it matter, we are all in this page because we love sonata arctica, now lets enjoy the music!

  • Americans may have invented those things but who they really are? They are Europeans who went West to live their dream. OK, they now call themselves Americans, but they still have DNA of their European grandfathers in their bones. (I know there are Asians and Afroamericans too, but most of the inventions mentioned below were made by sons of Europeans).

  • long live metal

  • @KingClark0136 The king of rock was born in USA asshole ...

  • @vamproseexpduet just for me.. the king of rock. who? a lot of people can go by that name..?

  • One of the best songs about the American Dream, written by a Finnish group? Fair Enough

  • @Krowsnest since europeans created the american dream, yes, fair enough

  • I agree with KingCark0136, here in America the "music" industry is so dumbed down and brainwashes the masses so thoroughly that they follow any talentless hacks the industry throws at them like dumb sheep. Consequently the few artists with talent are pushed to the bottom of the barrel. Most of the bands I listen to are from Europe, particularly Sweden and Finland. I wish I could move there so I could see some of these bands play. Anyway, long live Sonata Arctica!!!

  • @reinxeedfreak I live in the UK, and the majority follow the tripe imported from the US. I prefer bands like Sonata Arctica, because not only are they different, I actually like them. I think that if, instead of rap or hip-hop, the UK were shown more bands like this, they would start liking them because it's 'the cool thing to do'. I don't follow crowds, I follow what I like. The more talented bands are never truly recognised as amazing bands because of that other tripe -.-

  • @ChibiLauraCake

    Old School Hip Hop/Underground Hip Hop is good. But as always the mainstream shit hides the real musical talent.

    USA got great bands. They're usually a blend of Prog Metal, Deathcore and Metalcore though. And ofc, there's the legend metal of US like Slayer etc.

    Although, some of the really kick ass metal bands are from Europe.

  • @ProgressiveMadness92 Yeah, US metal is pretty awesome, but yes, you're right in saying mainstream shit hides real talent. I do enjoy some Old School Hip Hop, just not as much as I enjoy metal :)

  • @ChibiLauraCake

    The Swedish and Norwegian metal scene kicks ass though.

  • @ProgressiveMadness92 Hell yeah :D \m/ \m/

  • @ChibiLauraCake

    Iced Earth kick ass.

  • @reinxeedfreak Thats true but America has tons of good southern rock (metal) bands ..

  • @reinxeedfreak Im from Europe and i like some bands from America,i love some European bands,mostly from Sweden,Norway,Switzerland and i love some Asian bands,mostly from Japan or Korea.

  • @reinxeedfreak i'm like Metallica but America is SHIT :l

  • @BenioOwns

    LOL Metallica suck ass now.

  • @ProgressiveMadness92 Metallica, who's that?

  • @Alfonsofro

    Sell out pieces of shit from Black album onwards.

    Part of the Thrash Metal Big 4, but are so far from sounding Thrash these days.

    Last great album they released was Master of Puppets.

  • @ProgressiveMadness92 but still they are great

  • @5fingerriseagainst02

    Yeah up till ...And Justice For All.

    After that they go really shit.

    And Death Magnetic wasn't really all that. I guess it was slightly face saving after the abomination of St Anger, but it don't hide the fact that Metallica haven't released a good album in a long long time.

  • @ProgressiveMadness92 THough some albums have been missteps, Metallica has always been solid, save for St Anger. BLack album was awesome (and if you say it sucked due to having a ballad, remember, Ride the Lightning also had a ballad). I know taste is subjective but at LEAST theyve tried different styles. I used to be a huge SLayer fan but EVERY DAMN ALBUM sounds the same. I respect tallica for changing things up. And really, save for Unforgiven 3 (POS my friend) Death Magnetic was solid.

  • @CONSOLETRUTH

    Black album was the start of their decline lol.

    Not a true metal fan are you son?

    Not sell outs because they got big.

    Soundgarden went big. In fact, they were one of the first Seattle bands to sign to a major label. I don't see people calling them sell outs. Maybe it is because Soundgarden stayed true to their sound.

    I still like Metallica, but they are possibly the most over rated band. The same goes for The Beatles and Nirvana.

  • @ProgressiveMadness92 your channel says metal fan since 2007. barely 5 years.......Ive been a metal fan since ...And Just For All came out, you know, more than TWENTY YEARS AGO. So to question me being a metal fan when Ive been listening to it for more than 4 time longer than you is a pretty sad and lame thing to do. I am not neccesarily hating on you, but you are saying some stupid shit.

  • @ProgressiveMadness92 WAAAAA my fave band made an album that sold more than 100 copies and now everyone knows them so they sold out and suck now. Waaaaa...." really dude, the only thing Metallica sells out is every venue they play at. Though I hated St Anger and the Load sessions only had a few decent songs, they are prob still one of the greatest metal bands of all time. And really, it is sad when people throw out the SELLOUT term just because a band got big and gained fans.

  • @CONSOLETRUTH

    Every metal fan knows Metallica sold out.

    Greatest metal albums of all time?

    LOL That belongs to: Paranoid, To Mega Therion, Peace Sells... and Reign in Blood.

    Way better albums than the ones Alcoholica put out.

    They compromised their musical integrity for fame.

    Ride the Lightning was actually a THRASH album.

  • @ProgressiveMadness92 wow, you dont know me and can assume I am not a true metal fan? I guess all my Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Maiden, Priest, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Cradle, Amorphis, Bodom, Pantera, etc etc must mean I am a pop fan. Metallica never sold out.  THey didnt go to the mainstream, the mainstream came to them. THey did change their sound, most definately. That is why I give them respect, even if I didnt like. Slayer has been making the same damn album for almost 30 yrs now,

  • @CONSOLETRUTH

    Now don't bother replying.

    I don't have time to school Metallica dick riders.

    I'll show some respect, when they stop making shit like Load, St Anger etc.

    Call me when they release an actual THRASH album.

  • @ProgressiveMadness92 i hated St ANger and the load albums had some decent songs. As I posted, Id rather they try new things everyonce in a while cause who really wants to hear Master of puppet copy albums for 20+ years straight? Thats why I cant listen to slayer for too long, EVERY DAMN ALBUM SOUNDS THE SAME (save one or 2). Also, age is a problem. The guys are near 50, they probably cant play as fast due to physical limitations. And Death Magnetic was a solid album.

  • @reinxeedfreak sweden and finland are a part of europe.

  • @reinxeedfreak if you're from america watch this endofamerica3 . com

  • @TheSW3DES You do realize that video is put out by a investment firm that has lost over 80% of its capital right and is trying to recruit new investor by fearing them lol.

  • @Nemsault hmm no i didnt :D

  • @reinxeedfreak IDD! ^^

  • Arriba Sonata Lo mejor del Power

  • So fucking epic!!

  • 658 pendejos no saben que es la verdadera musica

  • oh man...

  • I think the best part of this song is the countdown at 3:25. It builds up the anticipation, and right when you expect to hear "one!", you DON'T hear it. I don't know how to explain it, but it builds up such feeling with the countdown, and lets the rest of the song speak for the "one" you don't hear. I don't know. That's what I get out of it anyways.

  • 3 millions here we come !

  • viva la buena musika viva sonata arctica

  • I don't know what it is, but the chorus is fantastic and EPIC! It's not only this song, there's a couple of others, it's just fantastic! the style they sing it in

  • @AriochStarr Sonata Style of metal it's just unique

  • @LatisARG Ain't that the truth! Keep rocking brother!

  • echt ein geiler song muss ich zugeben! :)

  • Great song, great band! Finland has shown itself as a f#cking amazing factory of bands! \,,/

  • Nightwish being more creative than Sonata Arctica? pfff that dude has done alot of cocaine i suppose.... I used to like nightwish n i still have the albums since the very begining but, c'mon NIghtwish is a joke band nowadays; while on the other hand we still have good music like Sonata Arctica,

  • i hope that my neighbours enjoy this song as much as I ^^

  • The best song in album ^^

    0:00-4:09  It's my favorite part.

  • Nightwish copied this song on their new album.. (song "Last ride of the day")

  • @noxus1988

    do you have a brain?? what a hell?? dont compare a normal band with a much superior band... nightwish will always the band more creative.. please open your ears.. and dont say stupid things

  • @asdehydroxx I would normally defend Nightwish but in no way are they more creative than Sonata Arctica and at the present are a very generic band in fact. The musicians of Sonata Arctica are technically more proficient in their instruments.

  • @noxus1988 Kid.. sorry but you are deaf, since when the notes have copyright? and those songs are complete differents...by the way

    what you try to prove? that you are deaf??...well done

  • Hahahahaha, so terrible.

  • Boring and ripped

  • Only Sonata Arctica could make writing a letter so badass.

  • @KingClark0136 please include philippines in that shout out...thanks

  • Dear America, Learn from Europe and the awesome music that they have created and do as they do, no more rap, pop, and hip hop.

    Sincerely

    The rest of the world

  • @KingClark0136 You forgot canada

  • @TehCorruption yea I know but Bieber seems to be more popular in america.

  • @KingClark0136 Okay, Europe has a shitload of Pop, and the US has plenty of Metal. Kamelot, Iced Earth, Symphony X, Metallica, Slayer, Dream Theater, Death, Megadeth, Queensryche, and who could forget Dio? Now shut the fuck up.

  • @KingClark0136 Sure Dio example is a legend, Dream Theater is good, Metallica isnt kind of music as this is. Sonata Arcticas songs COME FROM A HEART ! so much emotion and so beautiful lyrics and all = Epic

  • @msoriano54 I don't think he meant that there is no pop in Europe or that there is no metal in America. I think he meant that pop gets all the attention here in NA. For example, you see guys like Marco Hietalla on a daytime talk show in Finland during prime time. You think ur ever gonna see Russell Allen being interviewed on mtv? hell no. The media here only cares about Katy Perry, Acon, and other bullshit artists like that

  • @msoriano54 Europe has also metal bands like korpiklaani, lordi, within temptation, wintersun, sonata arctica, nightwish, alestorm, eluveite, opeth, arkona, amon amarth, venom, kreator, thyrfing, rhapsody of fire and many more. I think metal might survive with all these bands.

  • @MrMrtommy54321 within temptation from HOLLAND!!! yay for our small little country!!! ;D

  • @MrMrtommy54321 FINNALY one with the same thougts

  • @MrMrtommy54321 You forgot Ensiferum and Children of Bodom

  • @MrMrtommy54321 unfortunate i do not live in europe :(

  • @KingClark0136 Well said. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. \../

  • @KingClark0136 We have some good Metal bands.

  • @KingClark0136 Anyone that doesn't like the US please do not use Youtube which is based in California. Thank you.

  • @JustWaIkAway Okay. The American people invented, like, everything that people use today. The telephone, the automobile, the airplane, the personal computer, video games, the internet, hell, even the fucking light bulb. Also, the US and the Russians saved the rest of Europe's ass from the Germans. Most people in Europe would be fucked without the USA and Russia, which was then the USSR. USA wins.

  • @FlamingGamingLive Americans may have invented those things but look at Nicoila Tesla, who was and had running prototypes of machines that created free energy unlimited energy and then all of his work was either destroyed or confiscated but the CIA who are AMERICAN, America may have given the world amzing things but at the end of the day, they are just in it to make profit. The world doesn't call America the Land of Opportunity for nothing man!

  • @FlamingGamingLive we Canadians invented the light bulb mate. you just patent it first. also the Japanese invented main stream video games, amaricans just messed with radar parts to make the very first prototype, that and America is a bunch of paranoid rednecks who milk the one tragedy that befell them while in 3rd world countries that same death toll is reached every year. fuck the USA

  • @muldmike im american and i also strongly disagree with our foreign policy. But U.S. not a bad place to live :-D . Our media does make people paranoid here. But the smart people realize that the media is all bullshit anyway.

  • @MeissnerFlux i suppose its cuz 75% of the worlds shitty music comes from America

  • @muldmike You know you love Justin Beiber, admit it .. ;-D

  • @FlamingGamingLive I agree with mostly everything you said. Id like to add that after "defeating" Germany (and hiring some of its scientists and officials), America continued where Germany left off in global domination ;-D

  • @MeissnerFlux ... this is true XD

  • @KingClark0136

    I AGREE WITH YOU!!!!

  • @KingClark0136, I add to your feelings the reggaeton in southamerica, thats the worst try of music that had saw the light, and right now i add too the wachiturros movement, that is gonna be even worse when it got strength

  • @KingClark0136 On behalf of my country; I'm trying, but jeeze. It's hard to make myself heard over all the Reality TV (TM).

  • @KingClark0136 you are so ignorant. Just an example: look up Example, the british rapper. (: Besides, hating/being mean to other genres won't make you a better person. And yes, I like Sonata Arctica.

  • @sutyerator Yes! And dont forget Slayer, jag panzer, nile, megadeth, metallica(old ones), Anthax, Dream theater, Savatage, and ofc Manowar, Kamelot, Iced earth and a lot more...Those are not minor bands..most of them made the metal history!!! And yes im from Europe xD

  • @KingClark0136 well americans have some good metal bands...not like Europe ofc but still...

  • @KingClark0136 Dear world, please stop buying the stupid music created here in America ( Rap, Hip Hop and Pop ) We hate this shit as much you all do, sincerely

    The ones that feel like the rest of the world...meaning sick of that shit.

  • @KingClark0136 We have some music than can (sort of) compete... See Symphony X. That said... 90%+ of my favored music is from Europe, and a solid 30% is from Finland

  • Dear Youtube: I wanna hear songs by Sonata Artica, not watch videos about Mac and Linux classrooms.

  • epic !!!!!!!!!!

  • mmm, en malta odottaa et täyttäis kaheksantoist nii pääsis turussaki sonatan keikalle, ens vuonna sitten :)

  • Why the fuck do you people compare a band to another band? You are obviously retarded if you can't tell the differences from one band from an other.

  • @diecasterofthespirit Nightwish is not the fail in this equation. YOU are the fail for not recognizing them for what they are: A fucking amazing symphonic metal group.

  • 652 people didnt like this song.....

    13238 did

  • @sp3llb0und3d ... and 2958135 were indifferent.

  • Best Band on Earth !

  • 652 people have a flag pole in their hearts.

  • @TigerYoshiki 659 people have a flag poli in their anus

  • Retarded tags...

    As for song-not bad

  • Finland chicks are hot.

  • Cat Stevens sure has come along way away from his original roots in the music industry.

  • Sonata Arctica > Nightwish.

  • @ApatheticLeader And I love Nightwish...

  • @ApatheticLeader Nightwish = Fail

  • @diecasterofthespirit fuck you nightwish is amazing

  • @achangavi so is sonata arctica they both rock

  • God i love this song

  • Pour whisky, brandy, vodka come and live these nights with me! As if the world wasn't ending... Sonata Arctica for ever \m/

  • 1:40 ; " The best porn i've ever seen " ? o_o

  • @akarinotamashii the best horse i've ver seen XDDDDDDDDDDD

  • da hora esse video

  • Fuck 3days grace, im watching this music video for Sonata Arctica,

  • this is just... awesome

  • I'm fairly sure Tony told my friend this song is about Ireland. Might not be this one, but there's one on days of grays!

    - Awesome!

  • Great if Nightwish and Sonata Arctica would make a song together. It would be so damn epic.

  • Fanno cagare.

  • DEDITO ARRIBA SIVISTE EL FAIL DEL MINUTO 1:12 Y 1:18

  • Flag in the ground AKA BlackOut!

  • aah everything about this song is hwo to say no words to describe but

  • Comment removed

  • Watch the movie "far and away"... when i read the lyrics of this song i thought "oh my good.... It is like for the movie made." :D... there is a horse racing in the end.. and they have to stick the flag in the ground.. and then this land belongs to this person who stuck the flag in the ground ^^

  • well the lead singer could be better and stronger he gets lost in the song...but guitar is good and song too....
